Automated summary
Scaffolds a minimal starter file for a FireCrawl integration, including client initialization and the structure for a first API call.
Strengths
- Gives an immediate starting point with side-by-side TypeScript and Python snippets
- States clear prerequisites (API credentials, working development environment)
- Ships a troubleshooting table for common errors (import, auth, timeout, rate limit)
- Points to official docs and the next step in the skill sequence
Limitations
- The API call body is only a placeholder comment, so the output is not a working FireCrawl request out of the box
- Assumes a prior install-and-auth skill has already been completed
- Covers only two short snippets, with no SDK version guidance or broader API variations
Use it when kicking off a new FireCrawl integration and you want a starter file with the client wired up before writing the real request.
Skip it if you need a complete, runnable scraping or crawling example, or if FireCrawl credentials are not configured yet.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only uses Read, Write, and Edit tools and provides benign template code for a FireCrawl client. It does not execute shell commands, exfiltrate data, or instruct destructive actions. API keys are referenced from environment variables, which is standard practice.

FireCrawl Hello World
Overview
Minimal working example demonstrating core FireCrawl functionality.
Prerequisites
- Completed
firecrawl-install-authsetup - Valid API credentials configured
- Development environment ready
Instructions
Step 1: Create Entry File
Create a new file for your hello world example.
Step 2: Import and Initialize Client
import { FireCrawlClient } from '@firecrawl/sdk';
const client = new FireCrawlClient({
apiKey: process.env.FIRECRAWL_API_KEY,
});
Step 3: Make Your First API Call
async function main() {
// Your first API call here
}
main().catch(console.error);
Output
- Working code file with FireCrawl client initialization
- Successful API response confirming connection
- Console output showing:
Success! Your FireCrawl connection is working.
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Import Error | SDK not installed | Verify with npm list or pip show |
| Auth Error | Invalid credentials | Check environment variable is set |
| Timeout | Network issues | Increase timeout or check connectivity |
| Rate Limit | Too many requests | Wait and retry with exponential backoff |
Examples
TypeScript Example
import { FireCrawlClient } from '@firecrawl/sdk';
const client = new FireCrawlClient({
apiKey: process.env.FIRECRAWL_API_KEY,
});
async function main() {
// Your first API call here
}
main().catch(console.error);
Python Example
from firecrawl import FireCrawlClient
client = FireCrawlClient()
# Your first API call here

From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/firecrawl-hello-world-mryiqiah/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/firecrawl-hello-world-mryiqiah' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/firecrawl-hello-world-mryiqiah/download' --output '.skill-downloads/firecrawl-hello-world-mryiqiah/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/firecrawl-hello-world-mryiqiah/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/firecrawl-hello-world-mryiqiah/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.
Official OpenSkills installationopenskills install './.skill-downloads/firecrawl-hello-world-mryiqiah'openskills read 'firecrawl-hello-world-mryiqiah'Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.
For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/firecrawl-hello-world-mryiqiah/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
React Hook Form Best Practices
Development
Master React Hook Form: avoid anti-patterns, manage subscriptions, and handle reset, dirty state, and controlled inputs correctly.
Emotion to Mantine Migration
Development
Migrate Emotion styled-components to Mantine components with style props and CSS modules. Use when converting .styled.tsx files or removing @emotion imports.
Scope Creep Detector
Development
Analyzes git diffs against a stated intent to detect scope creep, unrelated files, broad PRs, and oversized changes, then suggests keep, split, or justify actions.
